I come home for all my breaks, but probably wounldn't be home for a meeting until the summer. Do you go regularly? I tried to go once like a year ago but it was cancelled that time and so I never...
Cutie - I'm currently in NY for college but I'm from Carroll County too! I guess it really is a small world!...
Hi, I saw a rheumatologist a few weeks ago for some joint pain and swelling that I have been having. I don't have a diagnosis yet, but the dr said it was probably either RA or arthritis associated...
